And it came to pass in the fifth year of Rehoboam
In the fourth year, the apostasy of him and his people began; and, in the year following, what is next related happened, as a punishment of it:
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
of whom see ( 1 Kings 11:40 ) ( 14:25 ) ,
because they transgressed against the Lord;
transgressed the law of the Lord by falling into idolatry and other abominable evils; the Targum is,
``against the Word of the Lord.''
